selvedge at the bottom, and 11 inches from the sel- 
vedge at the top. 

Allow 1 inch seam outside of lines A, E and above 
curve a. 

Allow 3 inches at the bottom for a hem. 

The skirt is stitched in a fiat seam back and front.

thirds of the amount inside of line E from top to 
bottom. 

When cutting for a larger waist and hip measure 
increase in the same way.

Dresscutting, Dressmaking 
and Designing 

Practically and Efficiently taught 



Dresscutting. 



Pupils arc taught how to cut waists, skirts, coats, jackets. 
one piece frocks, etc., with the most becoming lines and 
curves to lit each individual figure. All shapes are drafted 
from the measures taken of the figure. The tools used in 
our system consist of instruction book, measure book, 
square, and set of scales. The average pupil learns our 
method of cutting in from three to four weeks but is en- 
titled to call any time within three months for informa- 
tion or further instruction. 



Dressmaking. 



The pupil brings her own materials and makes, with the 
assistance of our teachers, any style of frock which she 
mav select. This includes tailor mades, afternoon, even- 
ing dresses, and etc. This course is both practical and 
highlv efficient for those who are learning dressmaking 
both for business and home use. 



Designing. 



Pupils are taught how to copy fashion illustrations in- 
cluding fancy and draped waists of all kinds; shirred, 
draped, tucked and plaited skirts; one piece dresses, 
jackets, coats, etc. Illustrations are copied in fine crino- 
line and paper. The object of the designing course is to 
make the pupil independent of patterns.
